Stanford Congenital Cardiology specializes in treating adults who were born with congenital heart defects. Although most will have undergone corrective surgery, some may not have been previously treated, or may have recently discovered complex residual conditions requiring therapy involving drugs, interventional procedures, or surgery. Our program is known for:
- Talented cardiothoracic surgeons who are leaders in repairing congenital heart lesions in all age groups
- World-class outcomes despite a high percentage of patients with very complex congenital heart problems
- Interventional lists with expertise in ACHD (Amplatzer closure of ASDs'/transcatheter valve replacement/hemodynamic catheterization)
- Radiology and Echocardiology with experience in Adult Congenital Cardiology
- Electrophysiologists with expertise in Adult Congenital Cardiology
- Close relationships with the Maternal-Fetal medicine team
- Close relationships with heart failure and heart and lung transplant
- Coordinated and comprehensive care that fits each patient’s unique needs
- Collaborative research to uncover new therapies and approaches
